Hi Greg,
This is an excellent point and we will make sure to schedule better in
the future. As the incoming Secretary (running unopposed) one of my
objectives for the coming year is to work with the conference sites to
do a better job of scheduling business meetings. We want more vendors to
be part of this organization and we must keep their logistical needs in
mind.
However, one of the nice benefits of the AHG conference is the small
size that allows anyone to connect with anyone else (such as vendors
with ATHEN members) in a relaxed and collegial atmosphere.
At present we have a time for the ATHEN meeting (6:00 pm on Thursday)
but no location. This may be short notice, but how would the membership
feel about the meeting taking place in the exhibit area? Or would the
vendors prefer this not happen?
Howard - is this possible? Can we get chairs and a screen/projector?

If I look at the current list, you are probably our only "vendor" member
but some may say that I am a vendor as well. You make a good point and
this is a challenge every year, perhaps we want to look at a dinner
meeting in the future. But there are other groups in eh exhibit hall
as well that may like to attend the meeting

Hi Everyone,
One thing that would be nice to consider is the meeting time for ATHEN
at AHG in light of any vendors that might want to attend the meeting.
The Exhibit Hall does not close until 6:30 on Thursday and the ATHEN
meeting is scheduled for 6:00. I am not sure how many vendors are
members of ATHEN (I am) and want to attend the meeting - I might be the
only one.
In reality, I and other vendors are usually still busy after 6:30
following up with people, so I don't know how feasible it is to simply
move the start time of the meeting. We might still be meeting with
people well after 6:30. Perhaps at the meeting this year we could talk
about possible solutions to this? Again, I'm not sure how many vendors
are actually members of ATHEN, so this might be a fairly minor point.
Thanks for your consideration.
Greg

Howard,
I am confidant I can speak for the organization on this question. The
ATHEN meetings at conferences have always been open to all conference
attendees. We actively encourage non-members to learn about the
organization and see how they can be part of who we are and what we do.
However, only members with up to date enrollment (dues paid) can vote on
business matters.
I know the meeting is at the usual time (6:00 PM on Thursday) but where
is it (meeting room)?

Ron, et al,
I assume you want the ATHEN meeting publicized to the whole conference,
correct. I.e. this is not restricted to ATHEN members. I wanted to check
before I post it on the conference page. Is there a blurb you want me to
post about the meeting?
Thanks,
Howard
